blockquote help

  • I’m using a verticle line for my blockquote, how can I indent that. Also, how can I change the color of the text in blockquotes?

  • This is from your stylesheet:

    blockquote

{

background: #FDFCF6 url('images/boxbg.png') repeat-y;

}

blockquote p {
  padding-left: 35px
}

blockquote p {
  padding-right: 35px
}

    Work on it.

    I’ve tried unsuccessfully, that’s why I posted?

    blockquote
{
background: #FDFCF6 url('images/boxbg.png') repeat-y;
margin-left: 30px;  <=== ADD THIS!
color: #XXXXXX;
}

    or whatever value you want for margin, and replace XXXXXX with the hexa value you want

    don’t know anything about HTML, am teaching myself but in my theme template, Raspberry Cafe, the code in the style sheet for the block quote looks like this:
    margin:1em;
    padding:0 2em;
    background:url(img/quote.gif) no-repeat left top;
    color:#666;
    font-style:italic; blockquote

    and as you can see the instructions say left top no-repeat. As a result my block quotes end up without right side quotation marks, not good. What do I replace no-repeat left top with to get the marks on the right side as well? My blog is at https://www.joinusattheembassy.com/bookblog/.

    Much thanks.
